Using Humanistic Content And Teaching Methods To Motivate Students And Counteract Negative Perceptions Of Mathematics, Roger Haglund
Humanistic Mathematics Network Journal
This paper examines the following questions: How is math commonly taught, why is it taught this way, and what are the outcomes? Who are some of the voices calling for change and what are they saying? Can a humanistic approach produce positive results in students who have learned to dislike math and have not been successful in a traditional classroom?

Popular Cultural Portrayals Of Those Who Do Mathematics, Carmen M. Latterell, Janelle L. Wilson
Humanistic Mathematics Network Journal
This article examines the popular cultural portrayals of mathematicians, but also anyone who does mathematics. Themes occurring in comic strips, television programs, literature, and, especially, in the movies are examined. Implications discussed include that secondary students are not going to be willing to do mathematics, if doing mathematics is not presented as a cultural activity.
